damnit, I managed to plumb the oilfilter in & out the wrong way, in my haste to find if there was any leaks, K&N filter, could it do any damage? im guessing the filter has some sort of 1 way function, but engine seems to get oil pressure fine, and no lifter noise, engine noise etc.

I found another filter and viewed it, seems it will flow plenty both ways.. so thats good.

I finished up thermostat, oil filter, oil cooler an plumbing, its handy to have a LOAD of fittings laying around from my glory days..

tested the lines, had to tighten 2 of them a tiny bit, and the one I had forgotten to tighten at all, then no leaks, tada!

now, I got my tick performance remote bleeder today, nice piece of kit, trouble is.. ever tried mounting one while engine and torquetube and tranny is in?! impossible, I got it all the way in, washer and all, just cant tighten it, no matter what I try... soooo I get to pull the tranny, TT and remove the clutch cyl from the clutch housing. not that much jub.. but hey annoying Wink

Hold on...

Porch had to do the same thing. 8th post down, See here... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Did not require any grinding with my RH parts. I did have to take a 7/16 deep socket and cut a side off of it to tighten the hose onto the fitting. It was a slight PITA, but bleeding is now so easy that the memory will quickly fade!

I did fit it without any grinding, I just cant tighten it :/

thanks for the tip, I asked in his thread.

a951 Sun Aug 14, 2011 4:32 pm

I removed tranny, torquetube, rearend of clutchhouse.. just to tighten the bugger.. not that time consuming really.

tring to mount the damn adapter plate for master.. now thats a BITCH!!!! then bending the lines to fit.. what an utterly non enjoyable job.

sorry about bad cellphone pics

You know that you can rotate the fuel rails 180 degrees and get rid of all that extra hose? Very Happy

I do, but its actually a better fit with the fuelreg and its position where it is Smile

not to happy with the brake solution, but I just cant find a source for tandem cylinders with tandem bars as xschop stopped selling his, and kokelns availability/fit with v8 is unknown.

going to mount the new tranny mount and bleed system this week,

Im using a RH kit, which supplies spacers for the transvers.

Have I got this correct when thinking that spacers are only there to improve hood clearance? or is there something else as well?

I will most likely just do a fiberglass hood regardless, so a small buldge is very easy to make into the mold.

a951 Sun Jan 22, 2012 7:34 am

sooo my other tranny mount, has the mount sitting to far forward, and my last has it sitting to far back.. doh Surprised

guess I need to buy another one.

I also removed the spacers on traverse, now thats a CLOSE fit everywhere now, but Im much more happy with it than having spacers everywhere, also this doesnt ruin A arm geometry.

well, finally botherd working on the car
so mounted tranny, drive shafts, exhaust on again, A arms, Spindles, shocks, steering rack, taped up harness, mounted in oem locations, made a ECU mount in passenger well, routed cables there, finalized the relay/fuse box, mounted with ecu..

now I just need to decide on suspension, and save up, buy a turn one pump, and plumb the turn one...

made this yesterday, and pulled it from mold today, wonder how it will clear I used divnicell, to brace, and no brace around where it "should" rub on TB, wil maybe get time to test tomorrow. we will see.
